I recall many magical moments during visits to Kruger. Some of them can be attributed to really spectacular sightings or rare animals/birds being spotted. But the best ones have been those occasions where you were the only vehicle (windows winded down), parked at a place where no unnatural sounds interfere with the beauty of your surroundings - and just absorbing the tranquility of the African bush.

One such a moment was on 13 May 2006 when we visited Klopperfontein for the first time (and the only time up till now). There was no spectacular game around (as a matter of fact we have seen very little that morning since leaving Punda Maria) but an absolutely windless morning greeted us at Klopperfontein. The water looked like a mirror with all surrounding trees, shrubs and riverain birds reflecting inimitably - seeing a perfect dual image of everything around the water.

Klopperfontein made such an impression on me that when I think of Kruger ever since - this is the picture that comes to my mind.

I have heard from one of our ex-forumites that they saw Eland there not too long ago
